PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM RICKETTS, HKD

1. At the start of a more than usually busy day, all of us in the department wanted to send you and Mrs Patten our best wishes on your first Hong Kong anniversary. I remember you saying at

our send-off drinks for you here last July that ''you ain't seen nothing yet''. We all thought you were joking

2. I thought that to mark the occasion, you might fit in a sports evening, between the GH Team and the Secretary of State's party. A number of events suggest themselves:

- The Triple Violation Jump

The Three Legged Stool Race

- (For those with greater endurance) The 1000 Years Hurdles.

HURD

Prizes could, I suppose, be jade figures of young Ladies.
